New Jersey Department of Children and Families Former Employee Claims State COVID Testing Is A Scam

Trenton NJ, a reader sent us this troubling story , on November 15, 2021, after twenty months of working remotely, the State of New Jersey, Department of Children and Families (where I work), returned their 6700 employees to their respective offices without prior testing!  Just a few weeks before, in a Statewide Zoom meeting, our Commissioner admitted that approximately 40% of our workforce remained unvaccinated.  HOWEVER, despite this fact, all employees were ordered to report back to our offices on November 15th without any prior testing requirement to do so.  On November 16th, Covid testing kits were passed out to those unvaxxed and we were told to have our tests submitted to a UPS drop box by noon on WEDNESDAY the 17th.  Our results would be emailed to us within 48 hours.  I’m hoping you see the issue here right?  6700 employees were brought back into the office to be there ALL week before ANYBODY got results of these “tests!”  So any number of employees could have been “Covid positive” IN THE OFFICE all week before any “test” results were received.  This was one of the many reasons that I refused to comply.  Obviously this was NOT about our health and keeping us all “safe” as, if it were by their standards, we would have been required to have a negative test before returning 6700 employees to their respective offices, no??
